Hillary Clinton could lose every remaining contest and still win the nomination

PHILADELPHIA — Hillary Clinton added at least two more states to her victory column Tuesday night, strengthening what’s rapidly becoming an all-but-unstoppable march to the Democratic presidential nomination.

The Democratic front-runner expanded her sizable delegate lead with wins in Maryland and Delaware. Contests in Connecticut, Rhode Island and Pennsylvania remained too close to call.

Already, Clinton can lose every remaining primary by a wide margin and still capture her party’s nomination, according to an Associated Press analysis.

A clean sweep Tuesday would likely foreclose Bernie Sanders’ already narrow path to the nomination. Still, the Vermont senator continues to attract tens of thousands to his rallies and raise millions of dollars online. He’s vowing to stay in the race through the last primary contest in June.

Without baggage and looming ethics, criminal charges, endless investigations, stupid RW smears both real and contrived. Keep Bill and Chelsea at home protect your Grandchildren. Quit changing the story avoid lies and over simplification.

HRC won't have the required delegate count from the primaries to earn the nomination so it will come down to the convention

I applaud Bernie for staying in until convention, this keeps focus on the issues and DEM platform, and allows all states to cast their vote and have the media cover it

odd that HRC and her supporters don't won't to sharpen and keep the focus on issues that will define DEM platform and strengthen it prior to GE battle with GOP nominee
